    Holmes didn't get robbed in any of the Spinks fights. I scored both fights for Spinks by 2 points.

            His record for beating up cab drivers is very impressive indeed.

              Id ha e to go with Holmes simply because it is the heavyweight division. Like the TS said "it only takes one". His risk fight by fight was much higher. Most of Floyd's fights i expected him to win beyond the shadow of a doubt. Even though big Larry could box he often got into fierce fire fights and to make it 48 fights without a loss is amazing to me.

                imho holmes in his prime is the best hw ive seen in my lifetime, floyd is the best lightweight although people wil say he only had a few fights at that weight watch them. duran was a hero of mine but imo floyd wudda boxed his head off. on activity id say holmes 48 edges it

                  1-1 against castillo and 2 wins against bums(looked terrible against sosa). total fantasy reach.

                    chris john's 48-0 is clearly better than both.

                      Moving up in weight while being carefully matched or fighting and beating the very best opponents in your weight class?

                      It's not a difficult choice, mate.
